“We wanted a way to share our district’s vision for the future. We knew a brochure, letter or web posting would have limited reach. A short video seemed to be the best avenue to get our message out,” said Superintendent Rich Hughes.

The district worked with the Capital Region BOCES Communications Service to produce the three-minute video.

The video is not a comprehensive roadmap, he said. The goal is to better explain the philosophy that guides the district’s decisions. It clearly places the focus where it belongs—on students and their needs.

“We hope everyone watches and shares this video. It gives a sense of the district’s commitment to offer our Thunder with ever expanding opportunities and the promise of brighter futures. We are Central Valley Thunder—Taking the World by Storm!” he said.

Our Mission
